Memoir of the Northern Kingdom is a fascinating essay positing a breakup of the United States in the early decades of the 19th century. It purports to have been written in 1872 and published in 1901; in reality it was published in the fall of 1808.
Other Versions. Transcriptions of the Memoir are available. A rich-text version (preserving line breaks) can be downloaded here; a PDF file is available here. An transcription of the Memoir with editorial annotations by Ed White was published in Journal of the Early Republic 30:2 (Summer 2010), to accompany White's article in the same issue, "The Ends of Republicanism."
More on the Memoir. William Jenks (1778-1866), Congregational minister, literature professor, and polymathic scholar, composed this essay in opposition to Jefferson's diplomatic and commercial policies.
